Hi Brenners, I got married on April 29th and I still have not put up my review. I have been so busy! Anyway, I want to help all upcoming brides anyway I can so ask me anything =) To answer your questions, my reception started at 7pm (after a 6-7 cocktail hour) and ended at 12am. The party was kinda winding down since we had a long day that it didn't seem like the staff was kicking us out. They were all SO nice and amazing for the entire reception it was unreal! The staff takes care of everything and they keep all of your stuff in their office. I got with my coordinator the next day or day after and picked up all of my stuff. Oh and they set EVERYTHING up for the wedding as well but you can have someone there if you want to make sure it's all going in the right place =) Let me know if there is anything else I can answer for you, I am happy to help!
